by wedding planner and photographer: Thysiamore Original

Hi! Bride and Groom to be, I know how fast happening the wedding day can be, but you can be aware of some things that you can do before the reception “gbedu” (party) begins.

Here are some fantastic things you can do before your wedding reception ceremony starts in Cotonou.

To do #1

View your ceremony hall before the reception: it helps you get a glimpse of what your deco and styling team has put together, it also gives you both the opportunity to take incredible photographs before guests and friends are ushered in.

To do #2

Take some photos before the main event: This may be the only time you both can take perfect pictures at the reception venue while it’s still intact and well organized. As soon as guests are settled in, everything changes.

To do #3

Have something to eat: Make it a priority to have something to eat. Some small chops will do. Something to keep your energy rolling when you have to do lots of dancing and taking pictures.

To do #4

Have some cocktails: have some of your favorite cocktails you made available for your wedding. Stay away from alcohol, and possibly save that for later.

To do #5

Take photographs with your bridesmaids and groomsmen. This may also be the best time to take some photos with the bride’s maid and the groom’s men, especially because you may have a change of outfit prepared for later.

To do #6

Make sure your reception dress is laid out. Ensure your reception and everything you have prepared for it is laid out and ready for immediate use, as to not waste a lot of time dressing up later. Be sure to let your glam team know if you intend to have a change of hair and makeup styles so they can stick around when you need them.

To do #7

Ensure hair & makeup artists are on standby: like we mentioned earlier, be sure hair and makeup artists are on standby to switch up hair and makeup if need be.  Make sure this is taken care of in your first booking moment with them and not on the wedding day.

To do #8

Say a short prayer of gratitude: make sure to say a prayer of gratitude for the Reception ahead. 

To do #9

Maintain a dancing mood and lots of smiles. No matter what, be happy on your day, regardless of whatever happens.  Don’t let anything get to you.
